Why was THIS scene considered as Arthas's step to the path of darkness? He really had no other choice...

He's a paladin, he lost his faith in the light because of the culling, it's really not that hard to understand if you played the game.

Pretty much. That was the scummy thing he did. Burned down the ships to prevent his army from escaping as well.

>You will be surprised, but killing people doesn't stop necromancers from raising them
This. Any other point is just moot

If it were Warhammer their actions would be misguided zealous superstition that would fail to stop it, they'd all get the plague too and it'd probably just be a distraction by skaven while they got up to something even worse.

Would Frostmourne be Chaos affliated or Vampire Counts?

Incel:If this were Warhammer

Because slaughtering innocent people you were sworn to protect, regardless of the shitty fate that likely awaits them, should be something that would tear any good leader apart rather than just jumping to "Whelp, gotta do what you gotta do." Also he saw a group of villagers eating the infected grain and immediately jumped to "kill everyone in the city." Even if it was likely true that most residents would have eaten the grain and been infected, making zero effort to try to save anyone who didn't eat it and get plagued is pretty shitty.

But yes, time was short, and it was a very rough position to be in. But the immediacy with which he jumps to purging the entire city ends up continuing him down his path.
>Look, those citizens ate the plagued grain.
>"This entire city must be purged."
>We're recalling all the troops from Northrend.
>"All the boats must be burned."
>Why are all the boats burned and why are you with a bunch of trolls?
>"These trolls did it. They must all be killed."
>Arthas this sword is cursed, let's not mess with it.
>"I need the sword to win."

Stratholme is easily the most debatable of those, where you can see where Arthas is coming from, but it's always an issue how quickly he jumps to the most violent and immediate solution to achieve his goals.

mabye if jaina wasn't such a fucking bitch he wouldn't have fallen.

not going to lie user that sounds like some heresy bullshit your saying

They weren't dead yet, if you actually played the mission you'd know he slaughtered innocent civilians as well before they can turn.
Even the ingame mechanics lets you kill innocent civilians before they turn and aggro on you.
